My parents live in the Pittsfield/Gilmanton corner of Loudon and my father has seen for himself and as have a few neighbors seen exactly the same thing (prob the same animal). After talking to the CO, F&G they first pushed it off as being a large coyote or hybrid. After the CO had the opp to see first hand and document with photos, it was determined that this animal in fact appears to be a North American Wolf, but unless someone shoots it and allows F&G to test it is open still for debate. Sceptics will run wild with this because they do not want to believe it, but it has been seen in the fields at the top of RT 129 by 5 people that my family knows (that at least recognize what a coyote looks like).
